First day

8998 Days (Sequel)

A George Shelley fanfic - Part 26

______________________________________________________________________________________________________________

I woke up early on the dreaded Monday morning, today I would officially start my first day at the coffee shop which was called 'Quick Mugs'

My mum got me a job there, she said, and these were her exact words 'You can't spend 8 months sleeping, and eating my food, I've got you a job at the coffee shop' oh goody I thought back then, but I'm actually quite excited today!

I turned of my alarm, and groaned, I hated waking up, even though I like the mornings, just a little later, my mornings are basically after dinner, for instance, I like my PJ's it's the best clothes, and I love breakfast, just not in the morning, I prefer it at night. If that makes any sense?

I stumbled out of bed and into my on-suit. Another benefit of living here, we living in a suitable big house, two main bedrooms each with en-suit's. I got undressed and into the shower, letting the warm water flow down my skin, it was so refreshing. I did what I had to do in the shower and got dry. I sat down on my bed deciding what to wear, I would get some sort of apron when Im there, but I had to wear something underneath, obviously. I decided to pull on my denim shorts, Hollister crop top (hopefully its suitable? Oh well) and grey cardigan. I walked downstairs and made myself a cup of tea and cereal, I finished my breakfast and put in my Vans.

I checked my watch, for once I was on time to walk down and arrive for work. For a first. I blame it on the time difference, although that does have an effect on me, especially when it gets to about 12:00/1:00pm and I think it's beddie byes.

I walked outside to set off on my twenty minute walk down to work. I looked back to look at my official house, it was a similar size to my last home, an average detached house in the suburbs. The suburbs were fairly close to the inner city of Perth, but I guess that's the perks of living here, walking down the long road I looked at the other houses around, general Australian homes are like English, but bigger and more expensive, I guess another benefit is that mums work is paying half for us living here, so it's cheaper for us, luckily.

Finally when I arrived at work, I was exhausted, walking is enough, but walking in this heat is another thing coming. Which makes it a whole lot worse, especially because the temperature is like double the weather in shitty England as I call it, and if you wonder why I call it shitty England, it's because they weather is bi-polar. You'll look outside and it'll be sunny and you'll think, "yay I can wear my shorts!" But then after a few hours it will pour it down with rain, freezing rain.

Oh the joys.

"Yo, you coming in or what?" A familiar Australian girl called out to me, I realised I was stood outside the coffee shop for five minutes in a day dream, which made me think, I used to day dream all the time, getting caught between real life and my thoughts, but when I was with George I was more concentrating on him rather than what my thoughts were thinking... Oh I do miss that boy...boy? I mean Monkey... My monkey... I looked down at my necklace, 'forever yes?' 'Forever' I smiled as the memories came flooding back.

"I'm coming!" I called out to..oh shit what was her name? ZOE! That's it... And continued my way into the coffee shop. I looked around at the surroundings, compared to the outside of the brown pained corner shop, it was fairly large inside. Including all different times of chairs, ranging from small ones to sofa-type ones and even spinny chairs! As well as tables, there were tables for two, and then all the way up for tables for four.

It was 8:55am, and the shop was about to open in five minutes, but during this time Zoe introduced herself better,

"Hi there so I'm Zoe, and this is the coffee shop, business is fairly busy, we always needed another worker rather than just me and my brother, so we're glad to have you" the girl smiled, I was really starting to like her, she seemed genuine and nice, "oh and this is Joe"

I looked at the slightly taller figure compared to me and Zoe's small selves, he was well tanned, and my god, wasn't he muscular. By the look of under that shirt, I could tell he had a six pack. His arms were muscular, and he light brown hair styled backwards, he had a crazy smile to die for, he had sparkling blue eyes, (picture at the side) "hey I'm Joe, but you probably would of known that, I'm Zoe's brother, but you would of known that too, um do you know how to work the machines?"

"I..um.. Yeah.. Haha, and no I don't" I tried to speak, but he literally took my breath away, okay that's way to cheesy, but my got course I liked him, after about 5 seconds, yup, welcome to the world of Katie Walker...

Shit... I have a boyfriend George... I remembered him, 'I will never forgive you' his words echoed in my brain, I clenched my fists in remembrance... I shook off the thought, but remembered that I had to speak to him tonight.

I walked behind the counter where Joe and Zoe told me how everything worked... Fuck... It was confusing, pull this pull that, use this not that... I know I'm going to mess up, panic rushed though me, "guys this is all too confusing, I'm going to mess up..."

"No you won't... Well you might... But you'll learn" they gave me my apron and we opened the shop

After about three hours, I kind of got a hand of it... By the hand of it, making tea and coffee, which I already knew, I left the other complex orders too Zoe and Joe. It put me down sometimes this job, although it was good and a fine job, working with a hot guy and his sister in which we have rapidly become friends, as well as us three having laughs like we've known each other for years, but every time I make coffee it always reminds me of George... Course I miss him, what makes it worse is that I love him. Yet I hate him. Why is everything so complicated? Why do I have such mixed emotions...

Soon came 5:00pm, and after a long, half stressful half fun 8 hours work day, Me Zoe and Joe all packed up the shop.

"Are you okay to go home? We can give you a lift if you want?" Zoe offered, oh a con of living here, I couldn't have my car, so I can't drive anywhere... It's shit, honestly.

"That would be great thanks, I don't know exactly the place I live, I can't remember, even though I've been here for 2 weeks, but ill direct you"

I directed the 'Potters' as I like to call them, (it's their surnames by the way) to my house and they dropped me off,

"Thanks guys, sorry if I caused trouble, do you live far?"

"Actually we don't, we live just like two streets away, we can pick you up and drive you too and from if you want everyday, there's no harm considering its on the way, say 8:45?"

"Wow! Thanks so much Zoe! See you!" We said our goodbyes and made my way into the house.

Mum asked how work was and I told her about it, she obviously reminded me about George when it got to the Joe part, considering she knew about the situation.

I ran upstairs and looked at my clock, 5:15pm, shit that means it would be 10:15am where George is... How am I going to talk to him, I can't talk in the morning, I have work, I can't talk in the evening, he'll be at work.. I slumped on my bed sulking.

Mum called from downstairs that dinner was ready, before I went, I wrote him one message on skype so he could see it when he is free.

'Hey Georgey,

I know you'll be at work when you see this, but I can't message you in the morning as I'm at work... I hated they way we left.. I know you hate me fore leaving you but I can't seem to get you out of my mind. I love you George, and even though you hate me, I hate myself too. I can't cope living here without thinking about you and missing you as well as our cuddles we used to share.

I know you said you will never forgive me, and if you can't then fine. I hope nothing changes when we get back... And we can carry on as normal.

Love you monkey<3'

I re read it over and checked before sending it, my mum called me again, "I'm coming!" I screamed...

I read over the last part,

'I hope nothing changes'

I really hope it doesn't, but then again, in 8 months that's almost 244 days, and anything can change...
